CERT recently issued an advisory about this vulnerability (CA-2003-18, http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2003-18.html) that said that setting the Internet Explorer 'Run ActiveX Controls' security setting to disable in appropriate IE security zones would prevent exploitation of this in web pages and HTML-format email. This sort of makes sense, since media player can be used as an ActiveX control. Can anyone confirm that this is really true, though?
